The first four weeks feel like they have flown by! I can't believe it has been a month already. New items this week included green onions, kohlrabi, sage and shelling peas. Peas will continue for another couple weeks, and garlic scapes for another 1-2. Then we will really have tastes of summer rolling in.

The first delivery of summer! Officially, anyways, as it's felt like summer for a bit. New this week are butterhead lettuce, kale, radishes, mint and snow peas! One of the highlights of the day was new piglets however! Suzy and Elsa farrowed in the morning, before delivery - it was a great day altogether. Now off to pull weeds and enjoy the sunshine!

CSA Week #2 came and went on Wednesday, June 15th. Strawberries continued to come in strong, while the excessive heat was hard on the lettuce. Garlic scapes are new to the boxes - a delightful spring treat.

The field is becoming full and lush! A couple folks came out for the member meeting in May, then again more recently and couldn't believe how much it had changed. It happens fast at this early stretch of the season.

Whoops! Getting back into the routine folks, I forgot to post our photos and newsletter from Week #1 of CSA delivery on June 8th. Spring CSA boxes start our smaller and lightly, dominated by spring greens. Strawberries and lettuce are the stars.

We are ever so grateful to our CSA members that came out to the farm over the weekend to help us beautify the farm! Having a crew of fun folks to do the painting with really makes a difference - great progress was made and what is left seems so much more manageable now. Thank you!

Thank you Brady for letting us borrow the paint sprayer - what a difference that makes! Here is Nate, Yvonne & Lee standing in front of the pack shed, which is now 90% painted!!

A view of the pack shed before painting - what a difference!

Pat and Penny tackled the greenhouse, which just looks simply amazing! Thank you ladies and gents for your time and support.

Looks like a whole different building, right?!

The crew even got a little start on the pig barn. We feel very blessed - what an amazing community we have here. :)
